He said the matter was closed. Of course, I hope that behind closed doors he reads the Big Ten the riot act. For my own personal sanity, I have to try and move on. Yet, here I am, hoping for some news to validate these feelings I can't seem to shake. I would give my left nut for another chance at those guys on a neutral field with neutral refs. I don't think that will happen, though, and I don't even think any statement from the Big Ten would assuage my anger.

Michigan considers the matter closed, we should consider the matter closed. As long as I live, I will see that game as 50% given away and 50% taken away. However, for my own sanity, I have to let it go. Believe me, it would be a lot easier to do that where I grew up in Midland than sitting in my office, looking at the Horseshoe. I have to though. I have to start sleeping again and stop snapping at my wife and kids. I wanted that win more than most, but that's why we love sports, nothing is given. We had a chance to take it, but we didn't. The matter is closed.

I've been to a few, and yesterday was surprisingly civil. I saw a lot of maize and blue at almost every tailgate and was treated very well at the one I attended. It almost felt like they knew there was a good chance they were going to get some comeuppance. Alas, The lady that was behind me got a death stare when she tried to be magnanimous, or whatever. They're not really gracious, but I give them credit for trying.

I have lived in Columbus since 2005. I wear a Michigan M on my work badge every day and wear Michigan gear all the time. Sure I get razzed, and that's fine. If it's playful, I can take it and dish it out. It's generally all in fun, but there is a small contingent of fans who don't have any perspective. They think because someone roots for a rival, it is grounds for a fight. For the most part, It has been my experience that those buckeye fans are cowards and usually talk shit well after I've passed.

However, there is no way I'm going into that snake pit wearing a target on my back. I don't have eyes in the back of my head and even though I can handle myself, I'm not going to win a 10 on 1 fight. All those punks who would mutter something under their breath on the street now feel emboldened and will take cheap shots. As described in other replies, don't look at the cops for any assistance.

So, I will go, sit in the stadium, and cheer loud when we win. Unfortunately, I won't be wearing maize and blue.

I agree with everyone who said to Uber / rent a car. Michigan plates are a target and you will get pulled over for the slightest infraction.

It may not have been bad when our team was bad, but now we are a real threat. The threat against Michigan fans is real.

The uniforms, shoes, gloves, all of it is gorgeous, and recruits are going to love it. However, I've yet to see a proper Jordan UM sweatsuit. That's what I want is a big, baggy, comfortable sweatsuit that is still stylish to wear on game days. Actually, none of the apparel has really blown my skirt up.

Ever since The Guarantee, I understood that sports was more mental than physical. Sure, it's nice to have Pep's athletic ability. It's a must to play that level of competition, but he wins with his mental toughness. Harbaugh knows this. Harbaugh taught me this when I was eight years old.
